Today’s lesson: Make it easy for people to contact you by including contact information at your Web site — preferably on each and every page.
If you don’t want someone scarfing up your contact e-mail, disguise it as an EMAIL button and/or use the topsekrit code (&-#-6-4) for the “@″ sign and/or use a gmail address for your site.
e.g. Site containing (allegedly accurate) information about The best mystery authors. Skimming through the list of names, I found it impossible not to notice
- Lawrence Block’s name misspelt.
- Arthur Conan Doyle’s name misspelt.
- Erle Stanley Gardner’s name misspelt.
- Dashiell Hammett’s name misspelt.
- and others
I would’ve pointed out the misspellings to the site owner if I could’ve found contact information anywhere on the site.
Couldn’t find contact information.
Nothing.
Oh, well.
